ElectroStop® 10/42/12 Electric Netting

ElectroStop is 7" taller than ElectroNet®. Has one extra conductive twine. A prefabricated fence that has 10 horizontal twines (9 conductive); is 42" tall installed, and has large white plastic vertical struts every 12".

White PVC posts are built into the mesh every 12.5'. The result, when energized properly, is a nearly impenetrable mesh to sheep, goats, coyotes and dogs.

The black and white colors provide 24/7 visibility to both humans and animals against light and dark backgrounds. It's low electrical resistance (only 38 Ω/1000 ft) is an important benefit for longer fences and/or fences with high weed contact.

Posts can be single spike (SS) with 1 spike that goes into the ground or double spike (DS) with 2 spikes that go into the ground.

Posts spikes are 6" long and .26" in diameter

Posts are spaced every 12.5'

42" tall

Comes with 2 nylon strings that can be used to tie posts back to support posts or to tie 2 end posts together.

Comes in 164' or 82' lengths- Pos/Neg is available in 164' lengths with SS posts only.

38 Ohms of resistance per 1000'

Positive/Negative (Pos/Neg) comes with 2 clips on each end. 1 is to be hooked to the energizer like normal. The 2nd should be hooked to a ground rod. This is for places where the soil is very dry and the animals do not ground well.

Quick Ground ElectroStop is a special use netting developed by Premier. Metal filaments in the bottom horizontal strand (the one touching the ground) serve as the ground rod to complete the electrical circuit. Designed for those that move netting very frequently. There is a risk with this design. If vegetation touches both the bottom strand and the first positive strand (only 3" away) an electrical short is likely. A larger energizer is often needed.

Benefits

Very easy to move. Secure for adults, lambs and kids. Extra height is better for large and/or flighty animals. Visible for animals against all back grounds. End posts act as built in gates. Multiple nets hook to each other quickly via a clip on each end. Double spike posts are more stable in soft soils. Plastic strut verticals are more rigid than string verticals. Nets with vertical struts bunch less than string verticals when the net is being rolled up or unrolled.

Installation

Tip: A PowerLink (see accessories tab above) is recommended to attach the grounded portion of the Positive/Negative net to the ground rod.

Remember...netting must always be properly electrified!

Precautions

This is a pain barrier, not a physical barrier. If animals are scared or starved it will not keep them in.

It is best to have animals trained to electric fencing before you turn them out in the net only. The first time you put the animals in the net, you should be available to watch them for a while. That way if one were to get into the fence and get caught, you can turn the power off and get them loose.

Use only with a low or wide impedance intermittent pulse energizer. Warning! Do NOT use continuous output energizers with electric netting due to risk of fire. (Fi-Shock™ brand energizers which are sold as low impedance, continuous current output should NOT be used with electric netting.) All energizers sold on Premier's website use an intermittent pulse and are suitable for use with electric netting.

Dry conditions and wintertime usage may reduce the effectiveness of electric fencing.

Dry or frozen ground many cause the NetPost spikes to bend or break if inserted with force. Pilot holes may be needed.

Troubleshooting

If the voltage drops below 3000v on the net, you need to turn off the energizer and unhook the net from the energizer. Test just the energizer by itself. If the voltage is 5000v or higher on the energizer the problem is in the net. The most common problem is that the lowest 'hot' strand has been caught around one of the metal spikes on the posts and is shorting it out. The net must be at least 2" away from anything metal (metal posts, existing fences, spikes on support posts).

Warranty

With proper care, netting should last 5-7 years. Replacements will be prorated.

Listed below are recommended optional components. Your particular situation may require alternative recommendations. Please call and talk to our fence consultants if there are any questions at 800-282-6631.

Write a Review

ElectroStop is a little taller than ElectroNet and designed for goats rather than sheep. The net is heavier and not as easy to install as ElectroNet (taller net = added weight and longer posts). If you have sheep use ElectroNet, if you have goats and tall sheep use ElectroStop.

Works great for keeping my boer goats in. We even have a baby just born who doesn't mess with it. I bought a 3 month old buck for my herd. After the first day he doesn't mess with it either. I have the Electroshok 600 energizer on them. They were easy to set up. I took one section down today and it was easy to take down and put away.

Really easy to set up. Good quality product. Looks great. Now, hopefully, it will keep the deer from tearing up my trees with their antlers.

We have four fences from premier1. They have held up great. I prefer the dual step in spike posts. We have clay souls that turn as hard as cement in the summer. You can still put the dual spikes in as it gives you a bit of leverage. Even if we didn't have hard soils I'd still purchase the dual spikes as they are much easier to use. We use the elctronetting for poultry and our pigs. Our pigs root around the fence and there have been times that roots and sticks will get tangled in the fence. I'm surprised at how well this fence holds up. It has been through a lot and is in great shape. I will purchase more products from premier1 in the future.

I have 4 different types of electric mesh to contain my goats and sheep. Two styles from Premier 1 Supplies, two from another company. My first Premier product was a single-spike net and it works well and is easy to set up and take down. The second Premier 1 product is this one. I prefer this one because it has step-in spikes and more rigid plastic vertical struts. This is a better product than the first Premier 1 product, but even with that said, the first Premier 1 product is still very good. The two other types of fence from another manufacturer are not good. Both have step in spikes but on one style, the step bends far too easily. On the second style, the foot with the spike separates easily from the post when trying to remove the post.

I really like and prefer the electric netting from Premier 1 to the others I've used.

As for sagging, as one reviewer noted, they will sag as you go over a rise in the ground. However, there are step-in plastic posts available from Tractor Supply (and Amazon, same brand, same product) which are about $2 each and work very well for supporting the fence across such sagging areas as well as reinforcing corners and terminations. The posts are Fi-Shock Step-In Fence Posts. Highly recommended accessories to this great mesh fence.

Shipped fast and no issues with order. Netting came ready to go and I had no issues with unboxing and getting it set up. I installed 4 of the 164' 10/42/12 double spike net in about 45 mins. On flat even ground, the nets install near perfectly with little initial sag. On hills or any change in grade, the net did sag a good bit. I added t posts at each corner and at the end of each 164' net section. With the T posts you can tighten up the netting and remove most of the sag, plus it makes the fencing a little more secure. I hooked this up to a .1 joule zareba 5-mile LI solar charger since I already had it running the fence around my 1/4 acre garden area. I thought it would be undercharged, but at the farthest ends I'm still reading 7,000+ volts on the net. Deer have stayed away from it and it seems to keep them from even wanting to jump over it, so I'm hoping it will also keep coyote away from the sheep. The only reason I gave this 4 stars and not five was that I felt there was too much sag anywhere the ground wasn't perfectly flat. If sturdier end posts were added to pull the net and elimate the sag it would definitely be a 5-star product.

About Conductivity

Conductivity measures the amount of electrical current a material can carry. The opposite measure is known as resistance.

Many of Premier’s nets feature a green and white superconductor that has both stainless steel and tinned copper filaments for optimal conductivity. These “premium” nets are 10 times more conductive (38 ohms per 1000') than our “basic” nets. This enables the electric pulse to travel much farther and be less affected by weed contact.

We do not recommended the basic nets listed below for fences exceeding 500 ft in length:

Customers who are unhappy with netting are often those who’ve chosen one of these or their farmstore equivalents. Why do we offer them? Because they are similar in design and conductivity (380 ohms) to nets from our competitors—and comparisons make decisions easier.

Types of Line Posts

Line posts are built into the net. Three options are available.*

Single Spike (SS)The best choice, unless your soils are always soft or very hard.

Double Spike (DS)Posts allow you to push in the spikes with your foot. When soil is hard or rocky, double spikes are more difficult to install and remove.

Drivable Posts (DP)Allows use of a mallet or dead blow hammer for installing posts in dry, hard or rocky soil. Features a “spike stop” for extra support and internal fiberglass ribs for added strength.

Tip: To insert a line post into frozen or hard soil, use a power tool to drill pilot holes.

* Not all fences have all line post options.

About Positive/Negative (Pos/Neg) Nets

Is your area dry?

Conventional electrified fence systems rely on soil moisture to be effective. However, not all areas have the required moisture.

To overcome this, Pos/Neg nets* are wired to allow the use of every other horizontal strand as an extension of the ground terminal. Because half the strands are connected to the ground terminal or ground rod, reliance on soil moisture is reduced. A PowerLink must be purchased separately to make the secondary ground connection.

How it works…

In order to receive a shock, the animal must touch both a positive (hot) and negative (grounded) strand at the same time. This will deliver more pain to the animal than an all hot net (Pos/Pos) because moisture in the soil is not required to complete the circuit.

Pos/Neg fences can be converted to Pos/Pos in moist conditions. Remember, all fences must be kept free of vegetation.

* Not all fences have Pos/Neg options.

Line Post Spacing

“Plus” nets—6'8" spacings between line posts

Standard nets—10' or 12' spacings between line posts

Essential Energizer Advice

Buy a larger energizer than necessary. When the fence pleases, most folks will buy more fence—and need additional output.
